    Most Arab countries aren’t ethnostates AFAIK. What happened to Arab Jews is absolutely despicable, don’t get me wrong, but it doesn’t constitute an ethnostate.

        An ethnostate is a state for one ethnicity, not a state against one ethnicity, so to speak. Israel is, by their own admission, a Jewish state, so it’s an ethnostate. Arab states are very antisemitic, but they’re not hostile to non-Arabs as a whole.

          Do you even see what you type? Arab states. Israel isn’t hostile to other ethnicities either by that same definition. In fact your entire statement applies to Israel the same way it applies to every single one of the Arab nations.

            No? Israel has done a lot of shit to Ethiopian and Yemeni Jews, for example. They also discriminate against Holocaust survivors. Israel has allowed ethnicities (most, but not all, varieties of Jews). All other sizeable minorities get the ethnostate treatment.
